\\n\\nFROM HER WEBSITE:
\\n\\n"Shannon Addison is a \\u201cwork-at-home\\u201d mom, military spouse, and mother of two amazing girls. Her mother (who was a teacher for 25 years) inspired her to create a product line that would positively impact the lives of children.
\\n\\nHer mom believed that everyone is given a voice\\xa0to use for whatever purpose each person intends to pursue. The challenge, she said, was finding a way to use your voice for good. For Shannon, this is her voice.
\\n\\nRaising girls has provided a lot of insight about what lessons are important during the most critical growth years. Today there are a lot of products on the market that promote self-esteem, but not many that really target self-acceptance.
\\n\\nThroughout this journey with each of the\\xa0Breadcrumbz, girls are not only shown how to\\xa0acknowledge who they are with their own shortcomings or\\xa0flaws, but are guided through a process that suggests\\xa0how to embrace\\xa0them and to celebrate the difference they make in their lives."
